I really thought this past year was a bust... What did I even do with myself for the last 12 months?! I sat on the couch a lot...I watched TV a lot... I complained about my job a lot....I worked out not a lot... overall I didn't do too much.... Then I started looking through pictures from 2012, and maybe I wasn't as boring and lazy as I thought I was. Time flies until you actually look back at dated pictures.
In 2012, I made:
- 5 trips to NJ
- 2 trips to Florida
- 2 trips to Chicago
- 1 trip to Scotland
- 1 trip to Germany
- 1 trip to Rochester
- 1 trip to Canada
- I lived in Montana for 3 months
- I attended 4 weddings
- and was in the house while my friend was birthing her baby upstairs (true story)
